A versatile performer for any room

Carefully designed drivers provide detailed sound

Polk created the sleek OWM3 with several applications in mind.

There's practically no end to the ways you can use these compact and versatile performers. The OWM3's slim, uniquely curved design and removable base give you plenty of placement options, including on-wall or corner mounting for a clean, out-of-the-way installation.

Pretty Nice Speakers

I bought these to finish out the 5.1 audio system for my Home Theater System, which is now all Polk Audio except for the Sub Woofer which is a Sony unit. The system is powered by a Yamaha RX-V375 receiver. Prior to the upgrades the speakers consisted of a KLH center channel, Pioneer S-HF21 bookshelf speakers for the front mains and two KLH 4.25" bookshelf speakers for the surrounds. The center channel was replaced with a Polk Audio CSR, the two front mains were replaced with Polk Audio T15's and the surrounds were replaced with these OWM3's. The OWM3's are the only speakers that have failed to impress. After putting up the right rear speaker I ran a tone test to make sure I had the speaker hooked up properly and working. It worked fine but I couldn't help but notice that the tone from the new OWM3 was much more muffled sounding than the KLH speaker that was still up on the left rear channel. After putting up the left rear speaker I ran the tone test again and both speakers have the same muffled tone. That's weird because, according to their spec's, these should provide a much improved high frequency response compared to the lowly KLH speakers. Perhaps things will get better when I have a chance to run the YPAO feature of the Yamaha receiver and get the speakers balanced, but I have my doubts as to whether or not that will be able to improve the "brightness" of thew OWM3's.

Cons:Dull, muffled tone compared to the really cheap speakers they replaced. Also, Polk Audio customer service isn't up to speed on this product. According to them, you need a #8 x 3/4" machine screw to use the threaded mounting whole on the back of the speaker. Actually, you need a 1/4-20 x 3/4" machine screw/bolt, though I was able to securely attach mine using a 1/4-20 x 1/2" machine screw/bolt.

Polk OWM3 satellites

These small speakers are just what I needed to replace the R-L wall mounted ones in the bedroom. Nice sound, unobtrusive white, good complement for center channel plus sub. Yes the enclosures are plastic, but that allows for a lighter weight and for the price for the pair, something of a bargain. What wasn't so nifty was mounting them on the wall. While designed for multiple mounting options (vertical, horizontal, angled down, corner), there is no mounting plate, just a template to match screws to the slots in the back of the speakers. But angled down covers the mounting posts, so you have to attach the leads first and then try to maneuver the slots onto the screw heads with scant room and without seeing what you're doing. In other words, I found, pretty much impossible. I gave up and mounted horizontally, which itself wasn't that simple. Polk should supply a mounting plate, as it does for the OWM5s.

Polk OWM3

After getting these for my son, I bought myself a pair to use as rear speakers for my home theater system. Upgraded from an old pair of Pinnacles. Sound is great. Crisp, clear and does the job with movies, tv, and music. Can't go wrong.

Good Purchase

Bought these to replace a pair of older satellite speakers in my 7.1 home theater system. Definitely an upgrade from the standpoint of appearance and sound quality. Passed the wife test on both counts.

Nice sounding speakers

These speakers are bigger than they look in the pictures. Not really big but make sure you look at the dimensions and like the size. They are easy to mount onto the wall and look good on the stands. We are using them in a surround sound with definitive speakers and they hold their own. They don't sound like $800 speakers but for the price they are excellent with rich, full sound.

Passes the wife test

These speakers perform well and they pass the wife test. They were used to replace some rather bulky and boxy speakers - the Polks are a bit curvier and thinner than the ones being replaced, so the wife is also happy.

Nice speakers

These are nice sounding speakers, and remain very clear with low noise reduction, at high volume. I added them to a 5.1 surround, and added a subwoofer, to achieve 7.2 surround sound. I made these bigger better speakers my L-R speakers, and its made a huge difference. The other speakers are small cheaper made Sony speakers, which I plan on replacing in a couple years. Don't use credit any longer, unless I pay it off so I pay no interest. I save, then do a project. Overall, with an easy way to either stand them up, or wall mount, I'm impressed. I would recommend this product to a friend.

Nice Side and Rear surround speakers

I am using these at the side and rear speakers in my 7.1 system. They are putting out clean sound so far. They are a bit larger than the picture appears, but their shape is attractive. I mounted 2 speakers using the angle mount, but doing so made it such that I could not use my banana plugs and had to run wire directly to them. There is no issue with banana plugs if you mount them flush. For the price, these are excellent surround speakers.

Best deal for surround speakers

These Polk OWM3 speakers were a major upgrade from the previous ones I had. The sound range and response to surround effects is very good.

Pros:The white colored version I purchased blends in well with the living room decor. There are multiple positions and angles the speakers can be mounted to let the sound be directed to the right location.

Cons:The only con, which is very minor, is they are slightly larger than the old surround speakers, but it is worth the space for the increase in sound quality.

Great product and great value!

Bought these speakers to use as front channels in my surround sound set up! The compact design is exactly what I was looking for and they still offer plenty of quality sound. Cannot go wrong with Polk. This adds to my Polk center channel and powered sub.

Great

I am very pleased with the OWM3W's, they sound great and are very low profile. They look great in my apartment and I would recommend them to anyone renting that doesn't want to put in a large mount on the wall.

Good all around speakers

I bought 2 pair. Using them for surround and can switch them at the amp for stereo. Great sound with a center channel and sub. Very nice sound at lower volume for dinner and conversation. These mixed in with my 15" DBX is awesome!

Pros:Nice shape for wall mounting, brackets not needed. Great sound for the size.My order came fast and undamaged.

Good Value

These are OK quality speakers and would make a good pair of surrounds. I really like the versatility in placement and install. And the white color blends into my off white wall very nice. It is not a bright white but almost almond. Wish I could find a similar value for center channel in white.

Great rear high surround speakers for the price

They are very adequate speakers for the price. I am currently using them as my rear high surround speakers for my 7.1 system. I agree with reviewers that said it could use a better bass response. However, they work great for the purpose. I recommend them for just that; rear high surround.

NIce Speakers for the Money

These are good speakers for what I needed. They replaced on old pair that I've had around for 20 years or more. The sound in that room is much better now. Room is also controlled by a Sonos Amp which makes it even better. The fact that I got the speakers free with the Sonos purchase is just icing on the cake.

not at all lacking in base

it was easy enough to install in a corner. but forget the mounting guide it came with. i used a piece of paper, taped it over the side with the screw mounts, used a pencil to shade over the screw mounts so that it leaves the cross mark on the paper. then positioned the speaker on the wall corner. then taped the paper to the wall, and removed it from the speaker. now i know exactly where to drill. the speakers are light (3lbs), so 2 screws worked fine.

Good surroubd speakers

I bought it to complete my home theather system, matching polk tsx series front and central speakers. Their linit powers is 125w, which can ve a issue if someone plans to add or have more powered amp. I check on the OWM5 but these are to big for me right now.

Nice little speakers

Nice sounding speakers. Very versatile mounting options, which is what sold me. i got the white ones, they did show a little dinginess just from the mounting process and the grills are difficult to clean. I have them mounted at 10' in my master bedroom paired to a Denon AVR-E300. Good combination and plenty loud

Great Speakers...sound and look.

I ordered two pair of these speakers as I was upgrading my Surround System. I initially bought a Onkyo TX-NR 616 5.1 receiver. I added the Onkyo PSW-111 Sub and the CS10 Center Channel with the front two OWM3s mounted high in each corner of my living room. I added the rear two a few weeks later. The sound is great. All the components are well-matched. I purchased both pair as "Open Box". They came in great condition.

Pros:Compact, blending with the surroundings (it took my wife a week and a half to notice the front pair on the ceiling). Great style. Great sound when coupled with the Sub and Center Channel. I initially consulted with Andy from Crutchfield via Instant Messenger. He was knowledgeable and helpful with making my decision.

Cons:I mounted mine to the ceiling. It was somewhat difficult to align the head of the screw with the hole on the rear of the speaker. No biggie after a little trial and error.

Polk OWM3

Great for side and rear surround speakers with my 7-1 theatre system I had gotten a pair of speakers in white from another source and was happy with them so I decided to get another pair to replace older surround speakers. Everyone seemed to be out of white, but Crutchfield had white in stock and for a price lower than what I had the other source. They arrived quickly and I am really pleased with the speakers.

OK surround speakers

The high rating is for the price and mounting options. The sound quality is just ok. They are not particularly crisp or loud. I assume the high ratings are due to low expectations, like mine. Since I use primarily for surround in movies, these are adequate. As long as they are not used for primary front speakers, they suffice. I am using a Denon 2113, so they are sufficiently powered at 95 per channel.

Perfect as Rear Surround Speakers

I have these speakers on Pinpoint AM20 Wall Mounts in the rear of my 5.1 home theater setup. These speakers look great and don't take up much space and do exactly what a rear surround speaker should do.

Surround Sound

Great surround speaker can be mounted multiple ways very versatile in this department. I have had a pair for my center surrounds for awhile sound ok. I ordered some TSi100's for my rears after trying these as my rears I think they will be better for my rears! We'll see!

Pros:Pricing, Mounting Options ,Great Speaker

Cons:Well for the cons if your careful how you use it will suffice for a surround. It leaves something for the imagination though as there is not a lot of low end response from it though in a rear surround it may not be needed in all systems.

Great Zone 2 Speaker

These speakers work great as a zone 2 off my Yamaha receiver. I use these in the kitchen area. If you are looking for lows these are weak in that area. A powered sub is needed for full sound quality. Mids and Highs are clean and crisp. I located these on a wall with Pinpoint AM21 brackets. Dollar value, excellent sound for the money.

Pros:Sound quality, great value, mount is many configurations, white color goes good with most walls.

Surrounds

I have a Denon X2000 receiver with Bi-amped polk fronts and center. These made a great addition as rear surrounds, Crisp sound with good quality. Price was great. Multiple mounting postions are nice i have them corner mounted in my 35 x 20. PLenty of volume. Bass a little weak but cant beat these speakers for price and convience

Polk OWM3

Crutchfield threw these in for free when I bought a Sonos unit. I had no expectations when I hooked these speakers up. Turns out that they are an excellent small speaker with good sound. Polk pitches these speakers as being very versatile in application, and provides numerous ways to mount them-- on a wall, in a corner, on a desktop. They provide the hardware for all of those mountings. Very well done.

Pros:Very versatile mounting options with included hardware. Excellent sound for a small speaker.

Good speake for small room

I bought these speakers to be the primary speakers for now as I am in a relatively small condo. In a year or two I will move to a larger place and they will become my surround speakers. Sound quality is very good and I like the size / appearance of the speakers.

Pros:Good sound, good appearance, easy to setup and move around

Cons:Little light on the bass but that is fine for a surround speaker.

Modern looking speakers

These sound great considering their size and depth. The best part about them is design. If you focus on looks, the simple grille and curved design really make them look unique, since they're not your common 'box' speaker. They also blend in really well since they're all black, with no accents or big color logo.

Love it!!

Set up, 5.1 sound system with these speakers (I use them for surround), sounds very nice They will fill your room with great quality crystal clear sound. Very easy to set up. They make watching movies and live music a real experience.

Nice Surprise !

These speakers were a promotion and something I had not intended to buy. They were free with my most recent SONOS purchase. However, I did use them to retire some aging speakers in my office (at one quarter the size) and I've come to like them. For their size, the sound is good and the ways you can mount or stand them are very clever. All in all, for a bookshelf-style speaker set, a pretty good buy at the price.

Good value but could have a little more punch.

I bought these speakers (2 pairs) to replace my one pair of larger Polk M3 surround speakers. I wanted a lower profile speaker and needed additional speakers for 7.1. The price was very good and the mounting options were excellent. I am using a new Onkyo 717 and so far I have only used the Audyssey room set up and right now I don't hear what I am used to hearing from my surround speakers on my old system. I will need to see what happens when I manually adjust the output to the surround. Overall I am happy with these speakers. I love working with Crutchfield.

Pros:Good price. Excellent mounting options.

Cons:Could have a little more punch. The enclosures are much smaller than my M3.

Omw3

Excellent surround speakers, I paired this set with monitor55t front towers, CS10 center speaker, PSW10 sub and are connected to a YAMAHA RX-V573. This speakers not only they sounds good but, looks good too on my wall. I got the white one so they blend well on my wall paint, and mount them on the corner where the wall and the ceiling meet. Very versatile speaker, Highly recommend.

Great Pair of Speakers

I bought these speakers to be used in our basement which we are finishing for a place to send all those teenagers that keep spending time at our house. My daughter had her 1st party this weekend and the speakers were able to handle what today's kids calll music more than adequately. It is even more enjoyable when I go in to the basement and play my music. This is the second pair of these speakers that I have purchased. The originals are doing fine as front speakers in our surround sound system. I regret that I can't find more uses for these speakers. They are great and you will not be disappointed.

Pros:CRisp clear sound and can handle the volumes demanded by teenagers without distortion.

Great Little Surround Speaker

First time dealing with Crutchfield and I couldn't be more pleased. The delivery was made exactly as scheduled. I replaced my old Minimus 7 surround speakers with these Polk OWM 3's. Sound and look good. I'm impressed with the quality.

Good Surround

These are great surround speakers. There are many ways one can mount them, and they just look fantastic. I bought these to complete my 5.1 surround system. I didn't want bulky bookshelf speakers cluttering up the living room so I got these and I'm extremely happy with them. The sound of bullets whizzing by, breaking glass, or whatever surround effects sent to them them comes through with excellent clarity and is dispersed to all the listening positions very well. Great value.

Cons:They do not do very well with lower frequencies. They're quite a smaller footprint than most bookshelf speakers so it's a trade off. I wouldn't recommend them for music unless you've got a good sub, but since I got them for movies I'm very satisfied.

Awesome speakers

I purchased 3pairs of the OWM3 Polk speakers to replace my Bose Cubes. All I can say is WOW. I couldn't believe what I had been missing in sound quality and depth. At a fraction of the cost these speakers outperform my Bose speakers hands down. In addition, The Crutchfield purchasing and delivery process was seamless.

Great Product, Great Value

The sound from these speakers is amazing. I love the clarity and crisp response. I also have the Polk Audio center speaker (CS10), and Polk Audio powered sub (PSW10). All of these units together make for some astuonding sound. Great for music and Blu-ray movies. The reason I bought these items was to get the big speakers (Cerwin Vega VE-12F) out of my livingroom to create more floor space. I was concerened I would lose the big sound, but with all of these together I have lost nothing.

Pros:Great clarity,low cost, and the mounting reliefs in the speaker housing make hanging them a breeze. You can mount them flat or angled down. Just used a "Zip-it" wall anchor & that was it.

Awesome Surround Sound

When the speakers arrived, the speakers were bigger than what I expected, and that a good thing. I did not know on the Denon AVR-1913 receiver, you have to select the movie button from the remote control to get audio from the speakers. Thanks to the Crutchfield representative I spoke to over the phone who provided me assistance. The first movie I played after I setup the speakers, was Terminator 2. I fast forward to my favorite scene in the movie, which is the part the terminator kicks the table out through the window, and pull out the mini-gun. The sound of both the mini-gun and the bullets ricochet off the grass, was enough to tell myself, these speakers are a keeper.

Pros:The size of the speakers, and the many different ways you can choose to mount them.

Cons:Your wife/husband will get jealous, because you give your Home Theater more quality time.

Versatile, elegant speaker; Exactly what I wanted

I was upgrading my rear surround speakers and wanted something larger than a cube and smaller than a bookshelf speaker. I thought I would give these a try because they fit the limited space I had available on the side tables. They are perfect, and in black add visually with a modern feel to the space. The price was great and the quality with Polk is always a sales point for me.

The increase in clarity over the old cubes was perceptible, and with a bit of use these should open up a bit sound wise (though given the non-traditional geometry you need to have realistic expectations). For both music and home entertainment purposes they have performed quite well and should continue to improve as they see further use.

I thought the plastic foot/base was fine and seems sturdy enough. I did not attempt other speaker mounting positions, but analysing the shape and the hardware included I can see how you could put these just about anywhere without too much effort. Working with the 5-way binding posts (as with the Polk CS-10) was stress-free. Overall the speakers felt dense/solid and well built.

To sum up: I purchased a car stereo and 4 speakers for that project from Crutchfield a few years ago and was very satisfied then. Now with this purchase I've added another good experience and the company definitely retains a happy customer!

OK, but no bass.

The OWM3 speakers are truly designed as surround speakers - they are not full range or "bookshelf" speakers and do not reproduce low frequencies. I even compared it to a couple other speakers with a laboratory frequency generator to make sure I wasn't deaf.

The sound is fairly clear (you can hear the texture of drum heads and cymbals and voices) and they are reasonably well built, except for the removable vertical stand/foot. When coupled with a subwoofer or full range primary speakers, they aren't bad. Also note that with a sensitivity of 89dB, they are pretty quiet. Given their lack of low frequency output, they are rather large boxes.

I'll wait a couple days before making a decision to return my pair to Crutchfield - they were intended as speakers in a spare room, but are ill-suited to the task unless I decide to drag in an ungainly subwoofer.

Polk Audio OWM3

I ordered two pairs of these to complete my Polk Audio home theater (Two
Monitor 40s, CS2 center, and PSW10 sub. I wanted surround speakers
that could perform well and were versatile to be put on-wall/ on-ceiling. I
already had speaker mounts from my old Sony HTiB. These speakers fit on
the existing 1/4-20" theaded inserts on the mounts and what an
improvement it was! I get a lot more sound from the surround speakers
with lower volume from the receiver. After I calibrated all of the speakers,
they blend together very well for an outstanding home theater. I
researched these speakers a lot before I purchased them. I did not see
alot of reviews for them, so I wanted to put my 2 cents in for anyone
considering these for surrounds. They truly are a versatile speaker and
compliment the other Polk speakers!

Great speaker for surrounds

I've used these twice now in different setups I love the positioning options and great sound for the price. I know there are obviously better surround speakers by Polk but on a budget or installing for a budget savy client, they fit the bill without much compromise in performance.
